Thursday Thirteen 70s Songs that Don't Make Me Puke


Thirteen songs from the 1970s that THE GAL HERSELF
actually CAN stand. See if any of these make you smile.

It was a hideous decade for music. But I shall ignore disco and Tony Orlando and Muskrat Love and concentrate instead on songs I still like to hear today.

1. One Toke Over the Line -- Brewer & Shipley
2. Dancing in the Moonlight -- King Harvest
3. The Wedding Bell Blues -- The Fifth Dimension
4. Smackwater Jack -- Carole King
5. It's Over -- Boz Scaggs
6. Silly Love Songs -- Paul McCartney & Wings
7. School's Out -- Alice Cooper
8. Fire and Rain -- James Taylor
9. We Got to Get You a Woman -- Todd Rundgren
10. No Way to Treat a Lady -- Helen Reddy
11. I Can Help -- Billy Swan
12. You're Sixteen -- Ringo Starr
13. Temptation Eyes -- The Grass Roots

Thanks to Bridezilla and her bad haircut ...

… I have been ruminating on my own relationship with hair today.

Most of the time, I like my hair. It's short, red and in good condition. I like how it catches the sun. I like that the style isn't quite like anyone else's.

That's most of the time.

There are the days right after I get it cut when it's too short and I feel dykey or like a "Poor thing." (Short for, "Poor old thing, she thinks she's still young.") Or the days when it's too long and the cowlicks start to go mad and the style has no shape. Or the days right before it's time to color when I just know everyone is distracted by my roots.

It's true that bad hair days really are bad days for me. So while I don't scream and lay on the floor, I guess at heart I'm not that different from Bridezilla.

I wonder which would be a worse wedding day trauma -- bad hair or an enormous zit?

Experience the bride yourself:
